The top 10 in the world remain unchanged heading into the British Open. Luke Donald is first, leading Rory McIlroy by 1.01 points.

McIlroy, as well as No. 3 Lee Westwood and No. 4 Tiger Woods, can take over the top spot this week. If McIlroy finishes second alone, he can get to No. 1 if Donald misses the cut. Westwood needs to win, as does Woods. For Westwood, Donald needs to finish outside of the top three. In Woods' case, Donald cannot finish better than a tie for third.
